su root doesn't work

First of all, marry Christmas!

I have created a new user and added it to users and wheel group.
but when i log in with the new user and i try to log in in console as root it ask password, i type my root password and it says sorry.
I'm sure that the password is correct and it hasn't any special caracter or symbol that can cause problems.

Is it a bug? How can i solve it?

Thx in advance

Did you add the user to the sudoers file?

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Beats me. BackTrack was never intended to be a stand alone every day use distro, so I'm not sure what was done to the underlying os, if anything.
